The present invention discloses compounds of formula I, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts, esters, or prodrugs thereof:
which inhibit serine protease activity, particularly the activity of hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS3-NS4A protease. Consequently, the compounds of the present invention interfere with the life cycle of the hepatitis C virus and are also useful as antiviral agents. The present invention further relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising the aforementioned compounds for administration to a subject suffering from HCV infection. The invention also relates to methods of treating an HCV infection in a subject by administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising the compounds of the present invention.
A nickel-catalyzed cycloaddition of aromatic (O-benzyl)ketoximes with alkynes to afford 3,4-disubstituted isoquinoline derivatives has been developed. The reaction involves oxidative addition of N–O bond of O-benzylketoxime to Ni(0) and subsequent intermolecular C–H bond activation via elimination of benzyl alcohol. It was also found that ketoximes participate in the nickel-catalyzed reaction with alkynes to furnish isoquinoline N-oxide derivatives.
inhibitor 6‐[[(diphenylmethylene)amino]oxy]hexanoic acid 1, the following systematic structural modifications were performed: (a) formal substitution of the phenyl rings, (b) isosteric replacement of the benzene core by the heteroarenes pyridine and thiophene, (c) formal reduction of the aromatic substructure and subsequent diminution of the cyclohexyl ring, (d) introduction of methylene spacer between
Energy transfer to aromatic ketone oximes can exhibit non-vertical behaviour depending on the planarity of ground state equilibrium geometry, a fact discussed in terms of structural changes of ground and triplet states.
Intramolecular 1,3-dipolarcycloaddition of 2-phenoxybenzonitrile N-oxides to benzene rings, accompanied by dearomatization, formed the corresponding isoxazolines in high yields. The X-ray single-crystal structure analysis revealed that the reaction formed the cis-adduct as a single isomer. The substituents on the benzene rings markedly affected the reaction rate, yield, and structure of the final
